New Video: Changing the comfort padding on a Pacific F20H

Changing the Comfort Padding on a F20H Firefighting Helmet - New Video

The Pacific F20H Haloflex™ directly addresses the risks associated with heat stress, helmet weight and contaminant exposure.

At the heart of Pacific F20H is the Haloflex™ system, the future of structural fire helmets – a complete departure from traditional ribbon suspension.

Haloflex™ can be disassembled in around 2 minutes without tools – meaning components can be removed or replaced in the field, without taking the helmet out of service.

In our recent video, our team demonstrates the process of removing and replacing the comfort padding and neck protector on Pacific F20H. Watch the video by clicking the play button below or by navigating to the clip on our YouTube channel using this link: https://youtu.be/YbKDuHAtn1o

Change to front merino comfort padding by Pacific Helmets – January 2024

Change to front merino comfort padding by Pacific Helmets - January 2024

To improve compatibility with the new ‘Rescue’ Eye Protector (available as an option for the Pacific R6 Helmets in 2024), Pacific Helmets is changing the design of the merino front comfort pad that is a component of the following models of helmets:

What does this mean for Pac Fire & our customers?
Two additional slots (highlighted in the photo) have been added to the fabric of the B2138602 front merino comfort pad to create a better interface for the eye protector tabs. This does not effect the operation or installation of the B2138602 spare part or the helmet – but there is a visual difference.

Change to front merino comfort padding by Pacific Helmets - January 2024

What products are affected?

  • The B2138602 spare part.
  • R5 rescue helmets, BR5 wildland firefighting helmets, BR9 wildland firefighting helmets, R6 multi-purpose helmets, F3D MkII (with a GEN1 liner), F10 MkIII (with a GEN1 liner) and F10 MkV (with a GEN1 liner) structural firefighting helmets.

The Pacific Patroller delivers on tactical head protection

Pacific Patroller R6L Tactical Helmet

Pacific Helmets is a globally respected manufacturer and exporter of safety helmet products that balance paramount protection with design functionality and wearer comfort.

Flexible manufacturing processes and an innovative design team have lead to the development of many popular specialty helmets, including the R6 range, which is the very embodiment of the term ‘multi-purpose’.

Part of the R6 range is the award winning R6L ‘Patroller’ – a head protection platform with military styling, designed for tactical applications, technical rescue, USAR and wildland fire.

The ‘Patroller’ is a lightweight helmet with a longer shell than the other members of the R6 family. The increased internal space in the ‘Patroller’ makes it a great choice for larger head sizes. The Pacific Ratchet Adjuster Headband allows the user to further customise the the fit and helmet ride height.

Pacific Patroller R6L Tactical Helmet

Pac Fire standard ‘Patroller’, available for purchase from the website, is fitted with Picatinny Rails, front accessory straps and pull down internal eye protection. As with all Pacific branded helmets, the ‘Patroller’ can be customised with other features like a VAS shroud, earmuff clips and face shield mounts.

Pacific’s R6 ‘Patroller’ is available from Pac Fire in a large range of colours and paint finishes.
